I’ve been playing around with Facebook. Both how to promote brands on Facebook as well as how users consume content within the walled garden (hint: there’s a direct correlation between the two). As blogs and media networks extend their reach using Facebook Pages, I noticed something interesting: Facebook can be used as an RSS reader. [...]
Wicked I love wicked problems. No, not that type of wicked. A wicked problem is a problem where the more you learn about it the harder it gets. Search is a wicked problem.

Wow. I mean really, WOW!

An Ode to the Link. I love links. They’re like magic. Transporting you all across the Web with just a click. It’s why I love Twitter. Links, lots of links.
